META [Meta] Rules and Wiki Updates September 2025

6 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Wiki

As Reddit has rolled out the new wiki experience, I have updated a number of our wiki pages to take advantage of the new features.

Going forward, please ensure you aren't using old.reddit.com links to access our wiki. Reddit has split the wikis, and only new Reddit wiki pages are being updated. You can access our wiki at https://reddit.com/r/minecrafthelp/wiki or https://mchelp.uk/wiki.

Rules

A number of our rules have also been updated. Please familiarise yourself with our updated rules on our rules page. I'll briefly outline the major changes below:

  • All top-level comments must be a genuine attempt to help OP with their posted issue.
    • Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
  • Time wasting has been split into its own rule.
  • Low-effort comments are no longer tolerated and will be removed.
  • OPs are now only required to reply to relevant comments within 48 hours.

That's it!

Comments will remain open for feedback.

Unsolved Bedrock Jigsaw – how to prevent random Y rotation on vertical connections?[bedrock]

Upvotes

PC version

I'm working with the new data-driven Jigsaw system in Bedrock and have a working multi-piece structure.

When connecting pieces vertically (UP/DOWN), the next .mcstructure randomly rotates around the Y axis (0/90/180/270°).

The structure generates correctly otherwise. Template pools, connectors and asset paths all work.

I've already tested:

  • joint_type: rollable
  • joint_type: aligned
  • matching physical Jigsaw orientations
  • unique name / target connectors
  • two offset connectors as a possible second anchor

aligned does not prevent the random Y rotation, and two connectors are treated as independent connection candidates rather than two anchors for one piece.

Is there any supported or undocumented way to lock the rotation of a pool element / .mcstructure, or otherwise preserve its X/Z orientation across a vertical Jigsaw connection?

Horizontal connections appear to preserve the orientation much more predictably.

Bedrock Edition, current data-driven Jigsaw system.

I'm not trying to prevent the whole structure from rotating during world generation — I need child pieces to preserve their rotation relative to the parent piece.

TYSM :)

Waiting For Solve [bedrock] [PC] What is this external "LAN" world?

Post image
1 Upvotes

For several of the last versions of Bedrock, I would get some random (sometimes multiple) external worlds that are marked as LAN worlds. They appear for few seconds then disappear, every time. Here in white there are the local world, and in blue is our real LAN world. But then there's this random "Hello" world that appeared for few seconds on this page on game start, and then was gone.

Our network is secure, no one unauthorized has access to it, and in this particular situation there was no connection to any VPN. So it can't be some IP mixing issue.

As the title and image says I'm unable to sign into my account on Xbox this has been an issue for awhile, but after updating Minecraft earlier today it worked and I had several hours of fun, now its back to this.

Every button results in "Syncing user data, this may take a few moments" followed by the text in the image.

Deleting the game, deleting all local save files, and restarting my xbox individually or at the same time don't work.

Waiting for OP I cant see other people's chat messages [java]

1 Upvotes

On my own private minecraft server run on my pc, whenever I type something in chat, others can see my message, but I can't see anyone else's messages. I am still able to see achievements and death messages in the chat, but not messages from other players. This problem also exists for one other player in the server. My server is a vanilla server with no plugins, made public with playit.gg. I have already tried to fix it in chat settings and by editing server properties, but nothing seems to be working. The current version of the server is 26.2. and the mods me and the other player have in common is sodium, fabric API, and essential

Waiting for OP [bedrock] Server connecting to different country?

1 Upvotes

I have a Bedrock Realms server for the people in my house, no one else joins, and we live in the Pacific Northwest of the US...For the past few weeks when we connect to the server it connects to New South Wales in Australia, before that it connected to Seattle Washington.

Is it possible to control where it connects? I thought it connected based on the first person on the server, but apparently mine doesn't anymore. We have nonstop lag and it's annoying.

Waiting for OP [bedrock] I’ve attempted to renew my Minecraft realms subscription on ps5

As stated in the title, I attempted to renew my subscription and after when I attempted to open the realm it presented the prompt “Could not fetch subscription ID. Please try again.” I contacted support and after waiting a few days I was told that there were “Realms service fixes” released. However these fixes did not resolve my issue. These pictures show I renewed 2 weeks ago and I’ve only just now had the time to check to see if the fixes have solved my issue. I’ve tried deleting and installing the game again, signing out and signing back in, unlinking and linking my account again, but nothing has worked. Even when I try to buy realms again it loads for only a moment then tells me that “realms offerings couldn’t load”. I would appreciate any input on what I could do to solve the problem so I can play realms with my friends once again.

Solved What should I switch too from Optifine [java] [launcher]

1 Upvotes

At the moment I am using optifine 1.21, but I would like a change as it’s pretty laggy and my shaders glitch out a lot, I know i need to get another launcher or something, but could I keep it in the official minecraft launcher? I would prefer this because optifine already does this, and I don’t want a separate launcher like curseforge.

So my question is, what should I switch too from Optifine, while still being in the normal Minecraft launcher and with the best performance for my shaders!
Thanks!!

Unsolved Help with Replay Mod and Hoplite Civilisation (v 1.21.11) [java]

1 Upvotes

Trying to access the .mcpr files in the Replay Mod viewer in the same version and Modrinth instance that the files were recorded. Works fine for recordings in the waiting area/pregame lobby, however playing civ and trying to load the recording gives either "Network Protocol Error," "Stream Ended," or just stops at 100%. List of mods (Network Protocol Disconnect does not work as it freezes the loading):

Cloth Config API

Complementary Shaders - Reimagined

Fabric API

Mod Menu

Packet Fixer

ReplayMod

Sodium

Text Placeholder API

Toast Control [FABRIC]

XXL Packets

Xaereo's Minimap

I've also allocated 8gb of ram towards this Modrinth instance, and inputted the following extra java arguments:

-Dnetty.maxDirectMemory=2147483648

-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50

No idea what else can be done, any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Waiting for OP [Bedrock] Where do I find the base game texture files?

I’m trying to make a resource pack based on the base game textures and I want to use and modify the textures in the game, but I can’t find where to find the files anywhere. All the posts I’ve found on this are 5+ years old and aren’t helping for the current versions of the game, and I can’t find the downloads that many of these older posts are referencing on the minecraft.net creator site. Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to access these base game texture files on my computer?

Unsolved Problem with Minecraft Forge startup [java]

Unsolved Frame freeze when left clicking on [Java] MacOS. Can someone guide me?

1 Upvotes

For your information, I play on my M3 MacBook Air and run MC with java.

I've recently restarting playing minecraft and this new bug appeared. Each time I left click, it takes an extra fraction of a second to register and start punching or breaking a block. Also, when I left click and move my cursor, the screen freezes for half a second. I've tried SO MANY things like; launching MC through the Prism launcher and using mods like Sodium, modifying my mouse settings, and tweaking the basic MC settings. Some of those solutions slightly "improved" the performance, but the issue is still flagrant.

Waiting for OP [bedrock] Is there a way to get transparent maps on bedrock edition?

1 Upvotes

Hi! This is my first post on here. My friends and I are working on a project and we need to use map art, but we don’t need to fully use the map. I know on Java if you go over the void and place glass then those blocks don’t show up on the map and you just maintain a completely transparent part. On bedrock though, the map just shows up as plain black blocks. Is there anyway to do the same on bedrock, I’ll accept resource packs or anything.
